Driskell identifies herself as “ambassador” for “God and His Son, Jesus Christ” (hereinafter referred to as Plaintiff), suing “Homosexuals, Their Given Name Homosexuals, Their Alias Gay.” Her seven-page, handwritten petition doesn’t quote any court cases, but it does quote Webster’s Dictionary and the Bible, so you know she’s for serious. Her contention is “that homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in a closet.” (You can’t handle the truth.)

As of press time, neither God, nor His Son Jesus Christ, nor Homosexuals was available for comment.

It’s Driskell and The Gays
It’s Driskell and The Gays
One is a bigot who kneals as she prays
That Jesus Christ will smite the “sinful” sodomites
It’s Driskell
It’s Driskell and The Gays, Gays, Gays, Gays, Gays…

I mostly get “uh, you mean like, Indian, not Indian Indian, right?” which leaves me 100% as baffled as before….

Not identical, but I definitely get a third fun level of the ‘where are you from from’ because I’m an ethnically-Chinese Indonesian-native naturalized-American-citizen.

Blows people minds, ya’ll.

Oh yes. I’ve mentioned meeting an Indian or some anecdote and have had people ask. I only ever use that when it’s relevant to my story in some way, otherwise I don’t tend to use racial descriptors ( i say ” this lady at the check out ” not ” this Black lady or Latina lady” )

And I’ve overheard people asking it.

So far only one person who knows me and knows better has ever been that stupid, the rest were just acquaintances or co workers that don’t know I’m bi racial and don’t get told because they’re idiots.

Lawyers are bound to take instructions from their clients. They can advise against something, but if the client definitely wants to file an idiotic motion, a lawyer’s professional ethics requires them to assist them as best they can.

That isn’t actually true. You don’t have to follow a client’s instructions to file a frivolous complaint. In fact, the ethics rules expressly forbid attorneys to do so.

+1 to Donna

I know a lawyer whose client wanted her to file a pointless lawsuit. Her response was, “no way, you’ll lose and I’ll look stupid.” He got someone else to do it and sure enough, the first lawyer was right.
